Spotify Demands Repayment from Meghan Markle for Recording Studio and Mansion
Spotify has requested that Meghan Markle repay the expenses incurred in building a recording studio and mansion after the conclusion of her podcast's second season.
The Duchess of Sussex's podcast was perceived by many as a means of retaliating against the royal family and those who saw her true nature.
This sentiment extends to other endeavors such as the Netflix docuseries, the Oprah interview, Taxi Gate, and accepting awards for baseless discrimination accusations.
It appears that everything she does is simply a form of retaliation because she has been exposed as a fraud.
Now, Spotify is seeking reimbursement from Meghan for the cost of constructing the recording studio at her Montecito home, which is currently up for sale.
A reliable source has confirmed that Spotify indeed built a home recording studio for Meghan.
However, as season 2 of Archewell Audio has come to an end, the recording studio will be dismantled since Spotify and Meghan are no longer collaborating.
Last week, there were rumors that Spotify's truck was spotted at the Sussex mansion, presumably to retrieve all the recording equipment.
According to royal journalist Elizabeth Holmes, it is possible that Meghan's podcast recording space is located within the $15 million Montecito mansion she shares with Prince Harry.
In theory, this would be part of Archewell Audio, but since Spotify supported and invested in the project, the profits must be shared.
Additionally, if some parts or rooms of the house are exclusively dedicated to business use, there may be tax benefits for home-based businesses.
Money can also be transferred between Archewell, a non-profit organization, and Archewell Audio, with expenses of around $400,000 listed in their first year, but not itemized.
Meanwhile, observers within the royal circle have expressed critical views of Meghan Markle's Spotify podcast, Archewell Audio, branding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as lacking charisma.
Royal expert and author Kinsey Schofield, along with Sky News Australia's Daisy Cousins, offered their insights on Markle's podcast, which debuted with a Christmas special featuring both Meghan and Prince Harry.
Schofield pointed out that the initial marketing suggested that Harry and Meghan would jointly produce content.
However, Schofield believes that neither of them possesses a captivating aura.
It becomes challenging to listen to someone championing feminism while being aware that her rise to prominence is largely attributed to her marriage to a prince, which provided her with a platform.
Schofield, the author of “R is for Revenge Dress,” further criticized the royal couple for their reluctance to share personal details and genuinely connect with a global audience.
Fundamentally, Harry and Meghan are simply unengaging.
They lack the desire to reveal more about themselves and become relatable to the world.
Audiences are becoming weary of well-off individuals complaining about trivial issues such as not being recognized at a restaurant or having too many bathrooms, Schofield added.
Commenting on Spotify's recent business decisions, which included a two percent workforce reduction due to podcast failures, Cousins remarked that if they are cutting jobs after paying a substantial sum to Meghan Markle, they must be reevaluating their choices.
Cousins continued by saying that she listened to some of Meghan's podcasts, where she attempted to portray herself as edgy and feminist.
However, she only revisited issues that were resolved over a decade ago.
We all agree that it is inappropriate and hurtful to label a woman as a bimbo, and it is unfair to penalize women for their ambition.
